TRiPSIM (Transit Route Performance Simulator) is a tool that was developed by CUTRIC's modelling team to predict the performance of alternative propulsion urban vehicles on transit routes. Each transit route is modelled according to different utilization scenarios reflecting seasonal variations, route topography and ridership.

Battery electric buses, hydrogen fuel cell electric buses as well as autonomous electric shuttles can be modelled using proprietary powertrain design information from the manufacturers. The performances of these powertrains can then be compared to each other and/or to the ones of diesel buses.

Whether you are looking to compare the performance and operations of each technology on specific routes, estimate how much GHG emissions you can reduce by electrifying your fleet, plan for your operational budget or optimize the deployment of electric vehicles, our team of experts can assist you using TRiPSIM.

Currently, CUTRIC is offering this route based alternative propulsion analysis for as low as $3000/route for non-members and $2000/route for members. New Members who join the consortium by March 31, 2019 are eligible for one (1) route simulation at no cost.

Special rates are available for large scale modelling requests (10 + routes).
